      <title>CVE-2026-90432 — sched_ext: Abort directly from the hardlockup handler</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2026-90432</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;sched_ext: Abort directly from the hardlockup handler&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;scx_hardlockup() defers the abort to an irq_work because exit claiming used
to take scx_sched_lock and couldn&amp;#39;t run from NMI. The deferral is now
unnecessary - claiming is NMI-safe and asserting -&amp;gt;aborting is exactly what
breaks the live-locks that hard-lock CPUs. Call handle_lockup() directly and
drop the irq_work. This also makes the self-detected case recoverable: the
perf watchdog fires on the hard-locked CPU itself, where a queued irq_work
never runs with IRQs off.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also fix the return value: %true used to be returned whenever sched_ext was
loaded, suppressing the kernel&amp;#39;s hardlockup report even when the abort was
refused. Return %true only when this call initiated the abort.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
